Christophe Cherix assumed the role of The David Rockefeller Director of The Museum of Modern Art in September 2025. He was appointed The Robert Lehman Foundation Chief Curator of Drawings and Prints at MoMA in 2013, following a departmental reorganization that brought together the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books - where he had served as Chief Curator since 2010— and the Department of Drawings. Cherix joined the Museum's curatorial staff in July 2007 after serving as curator of the Cabinet des Estampes at the Musée d'art et d'histoire in Geneva, Switzerland. His expertise lies in modern and contemporary art, with a particular focus on the art of the 1960s and 1970s. Born in Switzerland, Cherix holds a license ès lettres from the University of Geneva.
